About Me

Tom Wiggins: Born and raised in Gloucester, I now live and work as a letter carver across the border in West Oxfordshire. My journey in stone began in 2013 with a three-year Diploma in Stonemasonry at The City of Bath College. This was followed by a place on The Prince's Foundation's prestigious Building Craft Apprenticeship Programme from 2016 to 2017 where I worked at York Minster, Lincoln Cathedral, Worcester Cathedral, Muncaster Castle and was part of a three-month build at Prince Charles' Dumfries House estate in East Ayrshire, Scotland. I then did a traditional four-year letter carving apprenticeship with master letter carver Fergus Wessel at his Stoneletters Studio from 2017 to 2021. I've spent a further two years there as his assistant and continue to work alongside him. My love of poetry was the driving force behind my training as a letter carver. Carving poetry in stone and slate - as someone who reads and writes it – is such a tremendous honour. I continue to write poetry and short stories alongside my letter carving career and have every intention that they intertwine going forwards! If you'd like to get in touch, please send me a message at tomwiggins86 (at) gmail.com
